For the stir fry
Instructions
Step 1
In a bowl, add cubed chicken, sherry, soy sauce, cornstarch and baking soda. Cover and let marinate for at least 20 mins.
Step 2
Whisk sauce ingredients together until sugar dissolves; set aside.
Step 3
Heat wok over high heat. Add 2 tablespoons of grape seed oil, allow to heat up, then add marinated chicken. Fry chicken for 3-4 minutes while occasionally stirring, until edges are browned. Remove from heat and set aside.
Step 4
Add remaining cooking oil into the same wok. Stir in garlic, ginger, and peppers.
Step 5
Pour prepared sauce into the wok and bring it to a boil. The sauce will thicken.
Step 6
Add chicken back into the wok and mix all of the ingredients through the sauce until the chicken is evenly coated.
Step 7
Add green onions and peanuts. Toss well and continue to cook for another 2 mins so the peanuts and green onions can soften.
Step 8
Serve with white or fried rice.
